#IslamabadTalks have concluded but no deal has been finalized. Diplomacy between the #USA and #Iran remains intact for now with a fragile ceasefire holding and preventing further escalation.

What makes this moment significant is that it marks the first direct high-level engagement between the two sides since the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Pakistan facilitated this breakthrough.

Islamabad’s role has been pivotal. Quiet facilitation, strategic and calibrated diplomacy created space for dialogue in a crisis. Substantive points were exchanged, discussions were extensive but a clear deadlock persists on key issues on both sides, reflecting firm red lines.

Alright, I'm wanting to finish the rest of these Batman movies this weekend so lets jump into...Merry Little Batman from 2023. This is the one I've been dreading the most. I had such a gut visceral negative reaction to this trailer that I can't really put into words.

So yes, I already have it out for this movie and for all these key-jingling sensory tools for toddlers. I think kids deserve better than this. But, can it all really be that bad? The answer is yes. But is it? Let's see.

It really is a shame because this background art and the overall vibe of the art style is very pleasant. Reminds me of a really good children's book. But then it's paired with some downright horrendous character designs.

conservative movement is shaped across Europe and worldwide.Presidents, ministers, top political figures … “big names” from all around the world.Being there matters. And that’s exactly why it was important that CitizenGO was there, inside the space where those

💥The $2.1 Billion Air Canada Bombshell

Air Canada’s CEO rebuilt the airline after the COVID crisis.

💸 He led Air Canada to RECORD profits

🛩️ And led the world’s BIGGEST airline alliance.

Then a plane crash happened.
He posted a condolence video.

Prime Minister Carney publicly shamed him for not speaking French.

One week later The CEO “retired.”

Here’s the part nobody connected:

Until the VERY day that Carney announced he was running for PM…

He was leading a $15 BILLION fund — Brookfield

That fund invested $2.1 BILLION into companies that make ultra-expensive sustainable jet fuel ✈️

⛽ The Air Canada CEO was publicly pushing back on Carney trying to FORCE Air Canada to buy sustainable jet fuel.

The same fuel that Carney's company invested $2.1 BILLION into. 🤯

That fuel costs 2 to 10x MORE than regular jet fuel. 💸

And the CEO warned us —

IN WRITING

On a public company document. 📄

He said buying that fuel at those prices was NOT sustainable for the airline.

He warned that if they were forced to comply —

That Air Canada “could face adverse publicity and reactions from investors, customers, advocacy groups or other stakeholders, which could result in reputational harm or other adverse effects to Air Canada."

And word for word, it happened.

The full details are even more alarming. Read them here↓

🚨 Private property rights in British Columbia & Canada are in serious peril

🚨 Brookfield (Mark Carney’s firm) is copying Blackstone’s U.S. rental empire “right here in Canada!”
• U.S. side (Maymont Homes): Just bought ~4,000 more single-family rentals for ~$1B → now ~20k homes
• Canada side: Snapped up 1,188-unit Toronto apartment portfolio (2024) + pitching new 400-unit rentals. Renovating to jack up rents.

While Blackstone bought foreclosed houses post-2008, Brookfield is scaling multifamily + build-to-rent in Toronto, Calgary & BC —turning homes into institutional assets.

PM @MarkJCarney — defend fee-simple ownership against Cowichan-style threats!

🚨 WAKE UP CANADA! 🇨🇦

Same circles, same era when Wall Street giants like Blackstone were buying up foreclosed American homes and Brookfield (Carney’s firm) was scaling its rental empire.
🚨Today those same financial giants are reshaping Canadian housing while private property rights face Cowichan-style threats.
🚨PM @MarkJCarney is the ex-Brookfield Chair who held Blackstone shares.
🚨 China’s direct pipeline to Blackstone & Brookfield (Carney’s firm) are the same Wall Street giants turning homes into rental assets:
—Blackstone: $1.1B logistics mega-deal in China’s Greater Bay Area + millions of sqm owned; China even bought $3B stake in Blackstone pre-IPO.
—Brookfield: $3B+ (now ~$23B) in Chinese real estate; $276M Bank of China loan under Carney to refinance Shanghai towers + ties to CCP-linked tycoons.

🚨Jan 2026 video: PM @MarkJCarney in Beijing announces “new strategic partnership” with Xi.
While these firms scale institutional property ownership globally, private property rights in BC face Cowichan-style threats.

India imports 800+ tonnes of gold every year. Worth over INR 5 lakh crore at today’s prices.

How does it actually come into the country?

Through a system so opaque, so concentrated, that 30-40 dealers control the entire market.

Three stories this week connected the dots for me. A thread.

Story 1: The exchange that was working, until it wasn’t.

IIBX, the bullion exchange in GIFT City, traded 92 tonnes of gold in FY25. Up from 8 tonnes the year before. Up from 411 kg the year before that.

Transparent pricing. BDR settlement every 30 minutes. Vaults in GIFT City and Chennai. 200 jewellers onboarded.

Then FY26 happened. Volume collapsed to roughly 600 kg for the full year.

What went wrong?

Under the India-UAE CEPA, 180 tonnes of gold was available at a 1% tariff concession through a quota (TRQ).

DGFT, which allocates this quota, first restricted it to large players with INR 25 crore turnover. Small jewellers went to court. Delhi HC told DGFT to broaden access. DGFT cancelled earlier allocations and switched to auctions. Jewellers challenged auctions. Rajasthan HC stayed the whole thing.

Result: the quota is locked up in litigation. IIBX has almost nothing to trade.

Alibaba restructured its AI organization three times in five weeks. Each move built on the last. Together they tell a single story about where the company is heading.
🧵

It started with a midnight resignation. Lin Junyang, architect of the Qwen model family, posted six words: “me stepping down. bye my beloved qwen.”
Within 12 hours, Tongyi Lab held an emergency all-hands. The next morning, CEO Eddie Wu sent a company-wide letter.
This was not a planned transition.

Lin built Qwen into the most downloaded open-source AI ecosystem on Hugging Face. Over 1 billion downloads. 200,000+ derivative models.
His departure was an architectural story. Alibaba was already dismantling the vertically integrated team he led and absorbing it into a corporate matrix.
My analysis: hellochinatech.com/p/qwen-archite…

Ordinary people put their money into a crypto lending pool.

Then World Liberty Financial — the Trump family’s venture — used that same pool to borrow $75 million for themselves.

They drained it.

The people who deposited their savings are now trapped in bad debt they didn’t create.

The man who co-founded this venture with the Trump family — Steve Witkoff — is currently in Islamabad negotiating the Iran war on behalf of the United States.
The UAE Royal Family owns 49% of the company. Pakistan built its stablecoin into their national financial system.

Pakistan is now mediating the ceasefire.

The token crashed 82%.

The depositors are still trapped.

Witkoff is still negotiating.

Nobody is coming for their money.

Someone with inside knowledge of World Liberty Financial just described how it works.

Read this carefully.

At 6:49 AM on March 23rd — 15 minutes before Trump posted that Iran strikes were postponed — someone bought $580 million in oil futures.

6,200 contracts. Normal volume for that time: 700.

Nine times normal. No scheduled news. No Fed speech. Nothing.

Oil dropped. The Dow gained 1,000 points. Estimated profit: $40-50 million.

This is mathematics of diseases

In 1975, a top pharma CEO confessed

His dream was to make the whole world sick , so everyone would buy their drugs.

Healthy or ill, it didn’t matter.

The goal? Lifelong customers.

The business of sickness, exposed.

In 1975, Henry Godson, CEO of Merck (then the world’s second-largest company), expressed his only regret only sick people could use his company’s products.

He dreamed of a day when healthy people worldwide would also consume them just like chewing gum, which everyone uses regardless of age or health.
All major pharma companies share this vision: turning the entire world into repeat customers.

Take sleeping pills soon you can’t sleep without them. Antidepressants create deeper dependency. Even diabetes drugs can make healthy people reliant in days.

It’s not fiction. GlaxoSmithKline bribed doctors for 20 years to push drugs on healthy people, knowing many would become dependent. In 2010, they were fined over 16,000 crore.
But does a fine erase their moral crime against humanity?

Pharma’s real business isn’t curing disease it’s creating lifelong customers.

Let me give you some examples of diseases:

Diabetes Until 1997, it was believed that fasting blood sugar levels above 140 mg/dL were considered diabetic. However, in 1997, the WHO formed a committee, the Expert Committee on Diagnosis and Classification of Diabetes, to revise this threshold. This committee recommended lowering the threshold to 140 mg/dL, and then lowering it to 126 mg/dL. This meant that overnight, some people who weren't diabetic yesterday became diabetic just by reading this morning's newspaper. Overall, 14 percent of the world's non-diabetic population became diabetic. It's noteworthy that of the 17-member expert committee formed by the WHO, 16 were agents, consultants, and spokespersons for companies manufacturing diabetes medicines, and several of them were scientists, who were duly paid by the companies. The names of those companies are as follows:

Aventis Pharmaceuticals, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, Merck and Pfizer

How it went down today - a photo 🧵

At 1pm in Trafalgar Square, hundreds of peaceful protestors sat together silently and wrote “I oppose genocide - I support Palestine Action” to defy the unlawful ban on Palestine Action, and to oppose UK complicity in Israel’s genocide.

The first arrest.

Shortly after 1pm, the Metropolitan Police came through on their embarrassing U-turn, having previously said they would not make arrests, by further embarrassing themselves.

They arrested this lovely pensioner for holding a piece of cardboard.

One-by-one, the Met arrested each person of conscience holding a sign.

Most of the police seemed ashamed to be doing it.

We invite those police officers who have had enough to join us at the next action: EveryoneDay.uk
